# 14.4 MIDI CONFIG 14. SETTINGS MENU If track 3 is set to be triggered by track 2, and track 2 is set to be triggered by track 1, trigs placed track 1 will not trigger track 3. Tracks that are layered to the active track have filled squares in the parameter representation on the screen. Choking is a sound design technique where one track cuts off the sound of one or more other tracks. First, you select a track that will act as the choking track, then choose which other tracks it should choke. When the choker track is triggered, the tracks selected to be choked receive a note-off message and are silenced immediately—their normal envelope release is skipped and replaced with a very short release. To set up the track relations, press [TRACK] + [TRIG 1–12]/[FX] to select the active track. Then use the [TRIG] keys to choose which tracks should be layered with or choked by the active track. Press [UP] and [DOWN] to change between the layering or choking setup screens. The active track is shown with a red [TRIG] key. Layered tracks is shown with yellow [TRIG] keys, Choked tracks are shown with blue [TRIG] keys 14.4 MIDI CONFIG In this menu, various sub-menus dealing with the MIDI functionality of Syntakt are found. 14.4.1 SYNC Controls how Syntakt receives and sends MIDI clock and transport commands. Change settings by using the [LEFT]/[RIGHT] arrow keys or the [YES] key. CLOCK RECEIVE sets whether or not Syntakt responds to MIDI clock sent from external devices. CLOCK SEND sets whether or not Syntakt transmits MIDI clock. 14. SETTINGS MENU TRANSPORT RECEIVE sets whether or not Syntakt responds to MIDI transport messages sent from external devices. TRANSPORT SEND sets whether or not Syntakt transmits MIDI transport messages. PRG CH RECEIVE will, when active, make Syntakt respond to incoming program change messages, which is useful when wanting to select patterns externally. The MIDI channel that will listen to incom ing program change messages is set in the MIDI CHANNELS menu. For more information, please see “14.4.3 CHANNELS” on page 77. PRG CH SEND will, when active, send program change messages when patterns are changed. The MIDI channel that will send program change messages is set in the MIDI CHANNELS menu. For more information, please see “14.4.3 CHANNELS” on page 77. 14.4.2 PORT CONFIG Here you find the MIDI port related settings. Change settings by using the [LEFT]/[RIGHT] arrow keys. TURBO SPEED press [YES] to start the turbo speed negotiation. Speed is chosen automatically. Please note that you must use a MIDI interface that supports the Turbo-MIDI protocol. OUT PORT FUNCTIONALITY selects what type of signal the MIDI OUT port will send. • MIDI makes it possible for the port to send out MIDI data. • DIN 24 will make the port send DIN 24 sync pulses. No MIDI data is transferred over the port when this option is selected. • DIN 48 will make the port send DIN 48 sync pulses. No MIDI data is transferred over the port when this option is selected. THRU PORT FUNCTIONALITY selects what type of signal the MIDI THRU port will send. The settings are the same as for OUT PORT FUNCTIONALITY. INPUT FROM selects the source Syntakt will receive MIDI data from. • DISABLED will make Syntakt disregard any incoming MIDI data. • MIDI will make Syntakt listen only to MIDI data sent to the MIDI IN port. • USB will make Syntakt listen only to MIDI data sent to the USB port. • MIDI+USB will make Syntakt listen to MIDI data sent to both the MIDI IN and USB ports. OUTPUT TO selects the destination to which Syntakt will send MIDI data. • DISABLED will stop Syntakt from sending out any MIDI data. • MIDI will make Syntakt send MIDI data to the MIDI OUT port only. • USB will make Syntakt send MIDI data to the USB port only. • MIDI+USB will make Syntakt send MIDI data to both the MIDI OUT and USB ports. If MIDI+USB is selected in the OUTPUT TO settings, MIDI data will limit the USB speed. When sending large chunks of data, make sure you only use the USB setting. OUTPUT CH selects whether the knobs will send data on the auto channel or the track channel. PARAM OUTPUT selects what type of MIDI messages the DATA ENTRY knobs will send. For information about which CC/NRPN parameters that will be sent, please see “APPENDIX B: MIDI” on page 115. • NRPN will make the knobs send out NRPN MIDI messages. • CC will make the knobs send out CC MIDI messages. ENCODER DEST controls whether the DATA ENTRY and LEVEL/DATA knobs sends MIDI data or not. When set to INT, the knobs only affects the Syntakt and no MIDI data is sent. When set to INT + EXT, the knobs affects the Syntakt and also sends MIDI data to external devices. 14. SETTINGS MENU TRIG KEY DEST controls whether the [TRIG] keys sends MIDI data or not. When set to INT, the [TRIG] keys only affects the Syntakt and no MIDI data is sent. When set to INT + EXT, the [TRIG] keys affects the Syntakt, and also sends MIDI data to external devices. When set to EXT, the [TRIG] keys do not affect the Syntakt but MIDI data is sent externally. MUTE DEST controls whether activating/deactivating mutes will send MIDI data or not. When set to INT, mute only affects the Syntakt and no MIDI data is sent. When set to INT + EXT, mute affects the Syntakt and also send MIDI data to external devices. When set to EXT, mute sends MIDI data externally, but do not affect the Syntakt. RECEIVE NOTES will, when active, make it possible to play Syntakt using an external MIDI keyboard. RECEIVE CC/NRPN will, when active make it possible to control Syntakt parameters from an external MIDI device sending CC/NRPN data. 14.4.3 CHANNELS This menu handles the MIDI channel configuration. TRACK 1–12 selects the dedicated MIDI channel that is used to receive or send (by turning the knobs) parameter data to or from a specific audio/MIDI track. If configured as OFF, parameter data are nei ther received nor sent via MIDI. FX CONTROL CH selects the dedicated MIDI channel that is used to receive or send (by turning the knobs) parameter data to or from the FX track and the DELAY and REVERB parameter pages. If con figured as OFF, parameter data are neither received nor sent via MIDI. The sequencer data is always sent on the MIDI channel specified by the CHAN parameter on the SYN PARAMETER page if the track has a MIDI machine assigned. AUTO CHANNEL selects the MIDI channel that will give access to the currently active track. If an ex ternal MIDI keyboard connected to Syntakt sends MIDI data on this channel, the keyboard will control the active track. This is useful when for example quickly changing between the active audio tracks to play different sounds. The Syntakt also uses the AUTO channel to record to the MIDI tracks from external MIDI controllers. PROGRAM CHG IN CH selects the MIDI channel that will listen for incoming program change mes sages. An AUTO setting will use the AUTO channel. Enable Syntakt to respond to program change messages in the MIDI SYNC menu. For more information, please see “14.4.1 SYNC” on page 75. PROGRAM CHG OUT CH selects the MIDI channel that will send program change messages when changing patterns. An AUTO setting will use the AUTO channel. Enable Syntakt to send program change messages in the MIDI SYNC. For more information, please see “14.4.1 SYNC” on page 75. 14.5 SYSEX DUMP In the SYSEX DUMP menu, project, pattern, and sound data can be sent and received via the MIDI OUT port or the USB port of the Syntakt. Select a menu option using [UP]/[DOWN] or the TRACK LEVEL knob. Press [YES] to open the highlighted menu selection.
